Chapter Twenty-Four

RORY

The door opens at Lawrence’s parents’ and a gorgeous black-haired woman who has a small baby bump stands in front of me. When I say gorgeous, I mean out of this world, drop-dead pretty. She arches a brow as she flicks her gaze between me and Lawrence, then her lips curve up into a small smile.

“You must be my new sister-in-law?” she asks. “I’m Lucinda.”

She extends her hand and I slip my fingers into hers. She grips me firmly but not hard and shakes my hand. Then she takes a step toward me and wraps her free arm around me. “I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist a hug. I’m so happy to finally meet you,” she murmurs against my ear.

Once we’ve embraced, I tell her that I’m happy to meet her as well and she takes a step backward. Before she moves to the side to allow us past, she tilts her head back and looks up at her brother.

“I should be pissed off that you never told me you were married,” she announces, her voice almost angry sounding, but not quite. “I’m not though, I get it, especially back then.”

Lucinda steps to the side, placing her hand on her belly, and Lawrence takes my hand in his before he tugs me along behind him.

I follow, without having a choice, and honestly, I’m okay with that. He takes long strides toward the living room where I see Tennessee, Landry, the kids, and then a strange handsome older man.

“You must be Rory,” the handsome stranger says as he stands to his feet.

He has dark hair that is silvering at the temples. I would guess him to be in his thirties if he didn’t have the graying hair. He smiles and it comes so easily. Slipping my hand in his offered one he introduces himself as Savage Chenault, then adds that he’s Lucinda’s husband.

Inwardly, I gasp. He’s super handsome and as Lucinda makes her way to stand next to him, I realize that they really look great together, but I would never have guessed they were married.

Lucinda, on first glance, I would assume that she would be with someone who looked like an underwear model. Savage is very handsome, and they fit, but he’s definitely not the lean model that I would have assumed she’d be on the arm of.

We all sit down and the conversation begins easily. I don’t join in. Not only am I extremely nervous, I’m also preoccupied with a possible pregnancy and the fact that I now have to have a bodyguard.

“So, Rory, do you have any idea what you want to do?” Savage asks.

Lifting my head, I look across the room at him. He’s staring at me, watching me, assessing me as he waits for my answer. I think about his words, his question. Do I have any idea of what I want to do?

What does that even mean?

“I… I don’t know. I’ve never thought about that before,” I admit.

The room goes silent and I realize that
